REVIEWS

"...the results are so rewarding." -- Milo Fine, Cadence

"a strikingly intelligent marriage of their considerable talents, with seven originals by the pair plus a Thelonious Monk cover ('Trinkle Tinkle').... Recordings such as this represent my hope for jazz in the nineties: duets that demonstrate how free improvisation can lead from one clear vista to yet another." -- LA Reader

"The level of communication between Schlippenbach and Murray is unflaggingly high, their music consistently engaging." -- Bill Shoemaker, Downbeat

"...anyone familiar with the way piano and drums worked on [Cecil] Taylor’s 'D Trad, That’s What' or 'Lena' will immediately grasp where this music comes from. Indeed, the title track, with its faint opening echoes of 'Nefertiti', might almost be a rediscovered excerpt from the Montmartre tapes (except the sound’s better and Murray has clearly acquired a different set of cymbals in the meantime)." -- The Wire
